Kathleen Kelly worked for 20 years as a newspaper staff photographer before launching a career in corporate and commercial freelance photography. Based in Scarborough, Maine, she serves the greater Portland area. Assignments have taken her to New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and Cuba.

For 12 years she has produced photos for the annual Toyota President’s Award ad campaign, which have been published in both People Magazine and Time Magazine. Kathleen has covered events for companies including GlaxoSmithKline, FedEx, Allstate NJ, ShopRite, the Lefrak Organization, and the Maine Center for Enterprise Development, as well as for groups like the Ferrari Club of America. For several years she has photographed the annual alumni weekend at Stevens Institute of Technology. She has done executive portraits and documented company activities for use on the websites of Greystone Corp. and Maine Center for Reproductive Health.

“Each assignment presents its own challenges. Every subject, whether it’s a company or an individual, has its own story to tell. The photos can’t be done by formula. From my years as a journalist, I’ve learned to listen to my clients’ stories; then I use my vision to interpret each one uniquely.” - Kathleen Kelly
